Scott Sundvor cofounded Nima when he was 22, motivated by his own experience with ulcerative colitis and food intolerances. That lead to Nima, a portable bluetooth-enabled device that tests foods for allergens before you eat. The company has raised more than $20 million between venture funding and government grants. Its first product tests food for gluten, accurate at 20ppm (the FDA standard for what is considered “gluten-free”). In 2018, it will be rolling out a peanut-testing sensor and plans to add others for testing dairy or soy.

Most of the 30 Under 30 Media honorees have achieved success by serving audiences and telling stories about communities that have often been overlooked. Others are using cutting-edge technology to solve some of media’s biggest hurdles, like screening out offensive content on social media.

Collectively, the members of the 2020 Forbes 30 Under 30 list have raised well over $1 billion. Our 2020 30 Under 30 Big Money list highlights founders from across the 20 Under 30 categories who’ve raised more than $15 million.

The rising stars of finance are working at big institutions like Bridgewater Associates, Apollo Global Management, Goldman Sachs and KKR. They are also pushing forward smaller firms like Center Lake Capital, Divvy Homes and Celsius Network.
